Photos: Winter solstice ceremony at Stonehenge

Druids, pagans and revelers gathered at Stonehenge, hoping to see the sun rise, as they take part in a winter solstice ceremony on December 21, 2013 in Wiltshire, England. Despite the rain and wind, a large crowd gathered at the famous historic stone circle to celebrate the sunrise closest to the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year - an event claimed to be more important in the pagan calendar than the summer solstice, because it marks the 're-birth' of the Sun for the New Year.
